The How and the Why
July 3-12By Sarah Treem
Directed by Sheila Siragusa

Two women meet for the first time - one an ambitious young graduate student, the other a well-respected Harvard professor. Both are brilliant evolutionary biologists. Their meeting on the eve of a national conference evolves into an intellectual, professional, and personal showdown. From the acclaimed writer/producer of such television hits as IN TREATMENT and HOUSE OF CARDS comes a fascinating and compellingnewplay about science, family, and survival of the fittest. The Boston Globe hailed THE HOW AND THE WHY as a satisfyingly intense evening of high-IQtheatre.
